Brooklyn Bedding Signature Mattress Review: A Cozy, Balanced Feel
Our Brooklyn Bedding Signature Mattress review goes into detail on the bed's highlights, drawbacks ... More and who might love it the most.
Not all beds are made to fit every sleeping position and body type, but the Brooklyn Bedding Signature tries its best. Our group of testers and I analyzed metrics like firmness, feel, edge support, motion isolation and just about everything in between. While this bed may not have as many frills and thrills as its mattress sibling, the Brooklyn Bedding Aurora Luxe, or the premium Sleep Number Climate360 Mattress, it's one of those Goldilocks beds that feels supportive yet relieves pressure while accommodating a wide range of sleepers.

Headquartered in Arizona, Brooklyn Bedding is one of the handful of online bedding brands that owns its own factories to manufacture its mattresses. As a result, it's able to design quality mattresses at fair prices.
In a sea full of online mattresses, I think of the Brooklyn Bedding Signature Hybrid as like the Toyota of beds: reliable, reputable and comfortable, without having to be the high-end pick. Unlike the firm model, the soft and medium models have an extra layer of foam for more cushion; here's a breakdown of the soft and medium Brooklyn Bedding Signature Mattress layers.
A breakdown of the layers inside the Brooklyn Bedding Signature Mattress
Prior to the Brooklyn Bedding Signature, I was sleeping on the Bear Star Hybrid, and the Signature's medium model is around the same firmness as the medium-firm Bear Star. When I'm on my side, my shoulders and hips press comfortably into the foam layers, but when I'm on my stomach or back, it prevents my spine from sinking down into the mattress. Our testers agreed that the bed feels a little firmer than advertised. Senior mattress and sleep editor Bridget Chapman says, 'The brand has it as a medium, while I think it's more of a medium-firm.'
If the medium firmness is any guide, the firm model should be around a true firm and ideal for back and stomach sleepers, and the soft model should be around a medium and more accommodating for side and/or some back sleepers.
Lying on the Brooklyn Bedding Signature elicited an audible, involuntary sigh of relief. I compare it to the feeling of cracking your back or of finally sitting down after a long day on your feet. There is really no trace of memory foam in the Brooklyn Bedding Signature's feel. It's almost like latex foam, in that it's light, airy and bouncy, but it's more plush and cushy than latex foam. Chapman also describes the feel as, 'cushiony' and says, 'You're more lifted on the mattress than you are 'in' it, but the thick top cover provides a nice touch of softness for your joints.'
Switching between my stomach and my side is effortless on the Brooklyn Bedding Signature, and it's a generally comfortable mattress that I imagine most people would like. Like puppies or cake—what's not to like? Another tester praises its balanced feel and ability to accommodate her while on her side. 'I feel supported in all the right areas,' she says. 'I don't hunch forward because my shoulders do not have enough give, but I also don't feel too much sinking in the hip, shoulder or knee areas. Although this mattress is more firm, I find it very pillowy and comfortable on my side.'
It's also great for other sleeping positions; our testers scored it an 8.5 out of 10 for back sleepers and an 8 for stomach sleepers. However, our tester who weighs over 250 pounds did not find it to be supportive enough for side or stomach sleeping.
The Brooklyn Bedding Signature can be partly customized to better accommodate your needs. By that I mean you can pick between three firmness levels to suit your preferred sleeping position, and hot sleepers can pay extra for a 2-inch cooling pillow top that also adds more cushioning. And thanks to its various firmness levels and supportive construction, it's suitable for most sleepers and body types.
The Brooklyn Bedding Signature Mattress has a clean, cozy aesthetic, and it's even more comfortable ... More than it looks.
Brooklyn Bedding's pressure-relieving abilities are one of its major selling points, and our testers scored this metric an 8 out of 10. If you're a side sleeper, the soft model is especially ideal because it offers more give and cushion for pressure points and promotes proper spinal alignment. Strict back and stomach sleepers, though, should opt for the medium or firm models for proper pressure relief and alignment.
By itself, the Brooklyn Bedding Signature is average at regulating temperature. Its breathable cover and pocketed coils help promote airflow better than a standard foam mattress, but it doesn't actively cool you down.
That said, for an extra $300 (when purchasing a queen size), particularly hot sleepers can upgrade to a cooling pillow top with the brand's GlacioTex technology, which also gives the bed more of a plush, fluffy feel. Brooklyn Bedding also offers a cooling mattress called the Aurora Luxe, which is specifically designed with hot sleepers in mind. It's a bed we've thoroughly tested in our detailed Brooklyn Bedding Aurora Luxe Mattress review and is Forbes Vetted's top pick for the best cooling mattress.
Thanks to the Signature's comfortable, motion-absorbing top foams, I hardly felt my partner move during the night unless they were aggressively tossing and turning. For how responsive the Brooklyn Bedding Signature is, I'm surprised at how well it isolates motion. One tester echos my experience, and says, 'This bed has pretty good motion isolation for a hybrid,' while another calls it 'a good mattress to share with someone' because of how well it absorbs motion.
There is a little give to this mattress, but not so much that it makes your spine sag. For two average-weight sleepers around the 150-pound mark, the medium Brooklyn Bedding Signature model works great for us. If you're a heavier sleeper, I recommend going for a firmer feel so you sleep more on top of the mattress than inside the layers. Brooklyn Bedding says its beds are designed to support up to 950 pounds (or 475 pounds per side).
Thanks to up to 760 steel coils in its thick 8-inch coil layer, I think the Signature accommodates most body types. But if you're over 250 pounds and in search of a more supportive mattress, we've rounded up a list of our favorite mattresses for heavy people.
Its edge support also impressed our group of testers and me. Chapman says, 'I feel really supported while lying near the edge of the bed. I think you can easily sleep next to the edge of the bed without feeling like you're going to fall off. This is great for anyone who wants to use the full surface of the mattress.' Another tester says, 'The mattress feels just as supportive near the edge as it does in the middle.' Our testers ultimately rated its edge support an 8 out of 10.
Due to its responsive foam layers and pocketed coil support layer, the Brooklyn Bedding Signature has plenty of bounce and completely avoids any sinking, quicksand-like feel. Our testers rated its ease of movement an 8.5 out of 10. One person says, 'It has some bounce to it, which made it easier to change positions. It doesn't take much effort to switch between back, side and stomach sleeping.' Memory foam beds, on the other hand, are notorious for their slow-to-respond marshmallowy profile; if you're someone like me, who switches positions often, that resistance is enough to disrupt my sleep. On this mattress, you're free to toss and turn as you please.
The combination of steel coils and responsive foams makes the bed easy to switch positions on.
Brooklyn Bedding is a major player in the bed-in-a-box game, with its own factory in Arizona that manufactures its mattresses and other popular online beds under the 3Z brand umbrella. Its sister companies include Helix, Bear and Nolah, a few other popular names in the online mattress industry.
As is standard with most bed-in-a-box mattress companies, Brooklyn Bedding sweetens the online shopping deal with free shipping and easy delivery. Your mattress ships directly to your home in a cardboard box about the size of a heavyweight bag. While one person can set up the bed, it's much easier to do with a partner.
Cut the mattress from its packaging and unroll it onto your bed frame. The bed should take around 24 to 48 hours to decompress fully. It does have an off-gassing odor, similar to a car and its classic 'new car' smell. After opening a window, however, it dissipated after a day or so.
Knowing you can't fully feel the mattress before you press that purchase button online, Brooklyn Bedding offers a 120-night trial for all of its mattresses. If you decide the bed isn't for you within this time frame, reach out to customer service to initiate the return process and get a refund. Like most brands, Brooklyn Bedding asks you to try the mattress for at least 30 nights before you return it in order to give your body time to adjust to the new feel and firmness level.
Keep in mind, there is a $99 return fee.
If you buy a Brooklyn Bedding Signature Hybrid Mattress, you are backed by a 10-year warranty. This warranty covers manufacturer defects, but you must have a properly supportive bed frame to prevent voiding it. Here are the guidelines listed on Brooklyn Bedding's website:
Brooklyn Bedding
The Plank Firm Luxe is featured in a few of our roundups as one of the best firm mattresses because of its dual-sided, firm and extra-firm profiles. This gives back and stomach sleepers who require maximum support the opportunity to find the most accommodating firmness for them. It features a hybrid construction, a quilted top and the option to upgrade to a cooling cover.
Brooklyn Bedding
The Sedona Elite Mattress is the brand's premium offering. It's more than 14 inches thick, features a strong hybrid construction, luxurious Euro pillow top and a cooling cover to help regulate temperature.
If you were to ask me whether or not I recommend the Signature Mattress from Brooklyn Bedding, the answer would be a resounding yes, and many of our testers agree. Our group of testers rated the mattress an 8.5 out of 10 because of its accommodating feel, variety of firmness options, good performance factors (like ease of movement and motion isolation) and its attractive price tag.
Overall, the Signature is a safe choice with a responsive, plush and pressure-relieving feel that accommodates my partner and me, no matter which position we're sleeping in. If you want a mattress that accommodates a combination of sleeping positions, opt for the medium model. Strict side sleepers should seek the soft model for a plusher feel, though, while stomach and some back sleepers (like those over 250 pounds) should consider the firm. However, we recommend most sleepers who weigh over 250 pounds to opt for a mattress specially designed for heavier body weights. And if you prefer deep sinkage, we'd steer you toward a memory foam mattress instead.
I've been researching sleep and testing mattresses and other sleep products for more than five years. While I haven't personally slept on all of them in my own home, I've tested more than 100 different beds and have an expert understanding of mattresses, who they accommodate and how they may affect you from a health perspective. Additionally, I am a certified sleep science and stress management coach with the knowledge to speak on sleep topics, particularly how to achieve better rest through healthier habits and improved sleep hygiene.
Before writing my Brooklyn Bedding Signature Mattress review, I tested the bed for more than 30 nights at home, paying close attention to how accommodating it was for my body in different sleeping positions—what it felt like, how firm it was, how cool it slept and how well it isolated motion. I am a stomach/side sleeper, while my partner is a tried-and-true combination sleeper who hits all positions, so we were able to provide perspectives from multiple angles.
To gather additional insights from different body types and sleepers, we also had a team of five people test the Brooklyn Bedding Signature Hybrid and compare it against 28 other mattresses. Our testers ranged in weight from under 150 pounds to over 250 pounds, and each person spent about 30 minutes testing the Signature Hybrid. Along with testing how comfortable and supported they felt in different sleeping positions, they tested for motion isolation, edge support, ease of movement and more. You can learn more about how we test individually and as a group in our full mattress testing breakdown.
After testing many mattresses from Brooklyn Bedding, most of the brand's firm beds—including the Brooklyn Bedding Signature's firm model—fall around a medium-firm on the scale. This means they're softer than a true firm and around a 6 to 7 on the firmness scale (with 10 being the firmest). Brooklyn Bedding's firmest models (which are truly firm) include the Plank and Titan mattresses.
The Brooklyn Bedding Signature Hybrid is about 12.3 inches thick and made with five layers. It contains an 8-inch pocketed coil layer and four slabs of foam ranging from firm (for durability and support) to soft (for added cushion and pressure relief).
Yes, all Brooklyn Bedding mattresses are manufactured in the brand's own facility in Arizona and made with high-end materials like pocketed coils, gel-infused foam and cooling technology. They come in a range of firmness levels to accommodate different needs and while costs vary, Brooklyn Bedding beds are priced very reasonably.

We named the Helix Luxe our favorite mattress overall this year after it received top marks across the board during our testing. Between its lofty 13.5-inch height, cozy pillow top and superior motion isolation, the mattress is a true crowd-pleaser. More Deal Information: Helix offered 30% off over a holiday weekend earlier this year, but this 27% discount matches the best offer we've seen from the brand since then. This luxurious hybrid mattress is ideal for couples who predominantly sleep on their sides or backs. (Heavier sleepers or folks who tend to sleep on their stomach may want to seek out a firmer bed.) It has a plush Euro top our testers loved, and cooling properties throughout that keep you cozy and cool through the night. More Deal Information: This model was available for $1,299 over Memorial Day, so it may be worth waiting for the official Labor Day weekend for a potential drop. This Bear mattress comes in soft, medium, and firm variations and offers excellent motion isolation and edge support, all factors that led our sleep editors to name it the best mattress for couples . If you tend to sleep hot, consider adding the Celliant-infused cover for an additional $195—the material can help regulate your body temperature during the night. More Deal Information: This matches the best price we've seen for the Bear Elite Hybrid model. Nectar updated its collection of mattresses earlier this year, with the Nectar Premier now sporting a more supportive and high-quality design. It still embodies the traditional memory foam feel many sleepers look for, but with added responsiveness, and its thick foams do an excellent job of isolating motion. Pro tip: We recommend upgrading to the hybrid model if you're an especially hot sleeper. More Deal Information: Nectar has increased the original price of this mattress two times in 2025, but we've yet to see it drop any further in price. Sleep Number's i8 model is packed with features to help hot (and noisy) sleepers. The entire mattress, from the cover to the foam, is designed to pull heat away from the body and allow for better ventilation. It also offers customizable firmness levels for each side of the bed. It can also adjust to your needs as you sleep and connect to a companion app to track your sleeping habits. More Deal Information: This bed was on sale for $2,799 over Memorial Day, so we recommend holding out in case there is an additional drop closer to the holiday weekend. If you're searching for the best soft mattress, we recommend the Amerisleep AS5. It was one of the softest beds we tested, and using code LD2025 will save you $800 on this model. We found that this model cradles your body nicely and offers excellent pressure relief for side sleepers' hips and shoulders. However, the design doesn't deliver great edge support, and our hot-sleeping tester noted a slight heat buildup. More Deal Information: Although Amerisleep regularly hosts sales for $500 off its beds, this is a rare chance to save up to $1,000, depending on the model. While many mattresses are designed to support 230 to 250 pounds per side, the Helix Plus supports 1,000 pounds total. That—combined with its pressure-relieving foam, ample edge support and price tag—secured its place as our best value mattress for heavy people. More Deal Information: This 27% deal is a regular offer for Forbes Vetted readers. Although it's one of the best prices we've seen for the brand, Helix offered 30% off earlier this year, so it may be worth waiting for an additional discount. Anyone looking for a particularly luxurious organic mattress should check out the cushy Botanical Bliss from PlushBeds. It comes with a 100-night trial and a lifetime warranty, and the mattress is certified by a variety of third-party organizations that back its overall quality and sustainability. More Deal Information: This discount has been live since Memorial Day, but it has yet to drop any further in price. Plush yet supportive, this classic mattress is our favorite pillow top design . It offers plenty of pressure relief and excellent edge support, plus comes capped with a cozy Euro pillow top. We found the bed to be slightly firmer than advertised, so keep that in mind as you select between its three firmness levels (luxury firm, firm and plus). More Deal Information: The WinkBed is frequently on sale, but it rarely drops further in price outside exclusive promotions with select publications. The Plank Firm is our top pick if you're looking for a firm bed . The mattress has a flippable design that offers two firmness levels in one, and hot sleepers can add a cooling cover for $150. In our tests, we rated the bed highly for its back support and its ability to keep spinal alignment neutral. More Deal Information: This is a relatively common offer from Plank. If you're willing to wait, we may see larger discounts closer to the holiday weekend. At 15 inches tall, the Nolah Evolution has a luxurious construction and stellar support. It comes in plush, luxury firm and firm options, so you can choose the best firmness level for your sleeping position. All models feature a cushy Euro topper, cooling materials and zoned coils that offer targeted support for different areas of your body. More Deal Information: The brand typically offers 35% off over holiday weekends. If you're interested in the extra savings, you may want to wait until Labor Day to shop. Hybrid mattresses are popular because they're an accommodating blend of memory foam and innerspring mattresses. The Leesa Sapira Chill Hybrid has four layers of memory foam to provide pressure relief and a layer of zoned coils for bounce and support. This results in an on-top-of-the-bed, gentle hugging feel. You can also choose from plush, medium-firm or firm for your preferred comfort level. More Deal Information: Leesa offered 30% off select beds over July 4th, so you may be able to secure an additional discount if you're willing to wait. In our guide to the best mattresses , we rated this pick as the best cooling mattress. It has copper and gel-infused foams, plus 8 inches of airflow-promoting coils. After months of testing, we found that this mattress regulates temperature exceptionally well and prevents heat buildup. More Deal Information: Brooklyn Bedding offered 30% off this model over the July 4th holiday. If you don't need a bed right away, it may be worth waiting for an additional drop.

In general, most holiday weekends offer similar mattress sales. (That includes Labor Day weekend.) That said, Black Friday and Cyber Monday typically bring about the absolute lowest prices of the year. If you don't mind waiting, you can often save an extra 5 to 10% around those holidays. How Do I Know Which Mattress Is Right For Me? The right mattress for you depends on a variety of factors, including your sleep style and your budget. Certain mattresses are designed to accommodate specific sleep positions, and some materials cost more than others. If you're looking for a middle-of-the-road option that can appeal to many people, our sleep editors named the Helix Midnight Luxe the best mattress overall after testing over 200 models. Is Labor Day The Best Time To Buy A Mattress? Labor Day is one of the best times of the year to buy a new mattress. Many top-rated mattress brands mark down their best-selling models over the holiday weekend (and most extend their sales beyond the holiday as well). After Labor Day, you likely won't see discounts as steep until Black Friday and Cyber Monday.

I just tested this hybrid mattress — and it packs elite cooling powers for an affordable price
It's no secret that many of the best cooling mattresses can cost a hefty sum, but instead of shelling out for a high-end bed, hot sleepers will likely find that the Glacier Apex Hybrid keeps them just as cool for a fraction of the price. This mid-range cooling mattress comes packed with copper and graphite fibers to regulate your body temperature and ventilated gel foam that helps circulate air through the bed (and prevent trapped body heat). I found the cooling technology in the Glacier Apex Hybrid superior to my much more expensive Tempur-Pedic LuxeBreeze, though I still felt somewhat hot while testing the bed through a major heatwave. Yet as temperatures dropped, I felt the cooling lived up to its promises. Best for: Hot sleepers, side sleepers and lightweight sleepersType: HybridMaterials: Memory foam, gel foam, copper-infused foam and innerspringsFirmness: Soft (3/10)Height: 14 inchesWeight: 81-139lbsSizes: Twin, twin XL, full, queen, king, Cal king, split king Glacier Apex Hybrid is billed as a medium mattress, but my husband and I, who share a bed, agreed that it felt more like a true soft or plush bed. I'd rate it a 3 on our firmness scale. The softness was heavenly for side sleeping since it offered gentle cradling around the shoulder area, but it may be too soft for stomach sleepers who need more hip support. There was also noticeable motion transfer that may disrupt sensitive sleepers. The edge support, or sturdiness of the perimeter of the bed, is good enough for most sleepers. As a side sleeper, I never felt like I was going to roll off. But if you're seeking out a firmer bed or mattress with better motion control, our best mattress buying guide has other options to try. While Glacier Apex Hybrid is the brand's most expensive mattress, its mid-level price is highly affordable compared to other cooling beds. It's also on sale almost year-round with 50% savings or more (take a look at our mattress sale guide for the best times to buy a mattress). Considering the discount, a queen size Glacier Apex Hybrid is still about $300 less than other cooling beds in its price range, and up to $4,000 less than more premium cooling mattresses (such as the Tempur-Pedic line). With the affordable price point comes an industry-leading lifetime warranty and 365-night sleep trial that make the initial investment worth it. Still, be prepared to pay an extra $225 if you opt for white glove setup and old mattress removal, but read on to discover if this service is worth it. Get instant access to breaking news, the hottest reviews, great deals and helpful tips. I've tested the Glacier Apex Hybrid since June and it's consistently been on sale for 50% off. Yet the brand offers even steeper savings around major holidays, including Memorial Day when there was 65% off. But how does this compare to other mid-level cooling beds on the market? The Brooklyn Bedding Aurora Luxe mattress, for instance, is a hybrid at a similar price point. At the time of our review, it was only 25% off and a queen model cost $300 more than the Glacier Apex Hybrid. The Aurora Luxe Cooling also offered a 120-night sleep trial compared to the Glacier Apex Hybrid's much more substantial 365-night sleep trial. The Helix Midnight is another comparable mattress that offers an optional cooling pillow top for an additional fee. In total, a queen model of this bed with the cooling pillow top costs $1,280 at the time of our review (25% off the original price). While you may pay less upfront for the Helix Midnight, you won't get the elite cooling technology of the Glacier Apex Hybrid that includes graphite fibers and copper-infused foam. For these reasons, we believe the Glacier Apex Hybrid has superior value to both mattresses. If you want to snag the best deals on the Glacier Apex Hybrid, the upcoming Labor Day mattress sales could see improved discounts. Glacier Apex Hybrid mattress: twin was $2,198 now $1,099 at GlacierThe Glacier Apex Hybrid offers high-end cooling technology that should keep most sleepers cool. Its soft feel provides gentle cradling and support for side sleepers, while a sturdy bed perimeter can help prevent premature mattress sagging. It also has a lifetime warranty and 365-night sleep trial. The Glacier Apex Hybrid comes with seven layers that make up its tall 14-inch profile. At the top is a plush Euro top with cooling fibers, while just beneath is a graphite-infused memory foam layer that helps dispel body heat. Next is copper-infused memory foam that wicks away moisture (a great feature for folks with night sweats), followed by a gel-infused memory foam layer that contours around the neck, back, shoulders, and hips for pressure relief. The fifth layer is a ventilated gel foam layer that helps circulate air through the bed, further breaking up any trapped heat. Beneath the multiple foam layers is a layer of individually-encased coils to help elevate the spine into neutral alignment (essential for preventing back pain and neck cricks), plus two rows of thicker coils at the edges of the bed to beef up the perimeter. Finally at the bottom is a base layer that helps keep the upper levels in place. Want to compare the Glacier Apex Hybrid to other hybrid builds? Take a look at our best hybrid mattress guide for the leading options. Glacier Apex Hybrid is labeled as a bed with medium firmness, but it has a significantly softer feel that I'd rank as a 3/10 on our firmness scale. If you're looking for a true medium bed, look elsewhere, because this mattress is seriously plush. The good news is that both my husband and I, who have very different sleep styles, both found it largely supportive for our needs. My husband and I got some of the best sleep we've gotten in a long time on this mattress, even through the heat wave I mentioned earlier. While I was initially worried about neck or back pain from sleeping on such a soft bed, we felt supported and that our spines stayed in neutral alignment. However, my husband, who is a 6'1', felt like his hips were slightly sinking into the bed while sleeping on his back. I also noticed the same while stomach sleeping. For those reasons, I'd recommend a firmer bed if you fall into the back or stomach sleeping category, or you're a heavier individual. Still, it's hard to beat the heavenly feel of the Euro top, which grew on me even though I'm a dedicated memory foam mattress fan. I found the plush nature of the Euro top slightly harder to change sleeping positions on. This is known as responsiveness, or how quickly and easily a mattress adapts to your movements. I change sleeping positions often through the night, so while I had to put in extra effort to move around, it wasn't a deal breaker. A queen model of the Glacier Apex Hybrid weighs 115lbs. It arrived on my front porch in a box that my husband managed to carry upstairs to the bedroom on his own. While I definitely recommend having two people move this mattress for safety reasons, it's not impossible on solo terms. Therefore, I don't think white glove delivery is truly necessary unless you have mobility issues, back pain or simply prefer the convenience of it. The mattress arrived vacuum compressed and sealed in plastic that was easy to remove. Within seconds of cutting into the plastic wrapping, the mattress began to inflate. While most mattresses in a box can take anywhere from 24-72 hours to fully expand, I was pleasantly surprised that the Glacier Apex Hybrid sprung into full form in just 30-45 minutes. Therefore, we slept on it the very first night after it arrived. The mattress can also be placed straight on a base and doesn't require a box spring. Mattress off-gassing refers to the odor a new mattress releases when unwrapped. Luckily, the Glacier Apex Hybrid had minimal off-gassing that dissipated once the mattress reached its full form (less than an hour). I didn't notice any odors while sleeping on it. This mattress is made with CertiPUR-US certified foams , which adhere to specific environmental and health safety standards. This was a big bonus to me since both my husband and I suffer from seasonal allergies, and my husband has asthma. In fact, I found that the Glacier Apex Hybrid had significantly less off-gassing than other mattresses I've tested, including the all-memory foam Tempur-Pedic Luxe Breeze that I've slept on since 2023. Score: 5 out of 5 I slept on a queen size Glacier Apex Hybrid for three weeks. I tested it in all major areas of performance, including rating it on pressure relief, motion isolation, edge support, cooling and ease of set-up. While durability is hard to gauge during a three-week testing period, the bed has a sturdy build and high-end materials (such as gel-infused memory foam) that are likely to perform well over the years to come. Most mattresses can last 7-10 years with proper care, and I believe buyers can get that lifespan with this bed. While the Glacier Apex Hybrid is marketed as a medium mattress, I rated it as a soft 3 on our firmness scale. I placed a 50-pound kettlebell in the middle of the mattress to simulate the feel of a person's body sinking into the bed. It sank three inches, which is fairly reasonable given the softer build. Glacier Apex Hybrid is highly cradling, so you can expect some general sinkage. Overall, I felt the Glacier Apex Hybrid offered excellent pressure relief for side sleeping. Its softer and contoured build cradled the shoulders, which tend to be some of the most sensitive joints (this is why very firm beds generally don't work for side sleepers). However, there was slight hip sinkage while back and stomach sleeping, which is why I docked a point from the score. This is likely due to the soft firmness and plush Euro top. Don't let the softness scare you away, though. Although my husband and I could have used more hip support while back and stomach sleeping, neither of us ended up with any hip pain during the testing period. My husband also said his back pain disappeared while sleeping on this bed. The Saatva Classic is another excellent choice for pressure relief. This luxury hybrid has zoned technology where the center-third of the bed is firmer to help elevate the low back and hips into neutral alignment. The Glacier Apex Hybrid has comparable pressure relief to the Nectar Classic and DreamCloud Premier Hybrid, but isn't as pressure-relieving as the Tempur-Pedic LuxeBreeze, which I found best supports all three primary sleep positions. Score: 4 out of 5 I used a 10-pound kettlebell and an empty wine glass to simulate motion transfer. I dropped the weight at various distances from the glass to recreate the feel of someone changing a sleep position next to you. When dropped at a distance of four inches, the wine glass immediately fell over. At 10 inches, the wine glass wobbled but didn't fall (meaning you'd probably feel movement sleeping a foot or so away from a bed partner). At 25 inches, the wine glass also moved slightly but didn't fall over. If you have a restless bed partner, significant motion transfer will likely be noticeable. While hybrid mattresses generally don't absorb movement as well as memory foam mattresses due to their bouncy nature, I was surprised to see the degree of motion transfer on the Glacier Apex Hybrid with its multiple memory foam layers. Even my husband gently changing sleeping positions from his back to his side was enough to wake me from sleep. If you're a bedsharing couple where both partners are sound sleepers, this may not bother you. However, if you're a light sleeper like me or have a fidgety partner, you may want to opt for a slow-moving memory foam bed like the Nectar Classic, which I've found to have low motion transfer. Score: 3 out of 5 The Glacier Apex Hybrid is packed with cooling materials like graphite and copper, which help break up trapped heat, and a cooling cover. It also has ventilated gel foam to push air through the bed, keeping it cool to the touch. Most sleepers will find the cooling good or even excellent on this mattress, though my husband and I found that the cooling wasn't always consistent (some nights, the bed just didn't stay cool). Nonetheless, I never woke up sweaty or felt like I was overheating on the Glacier Apex Hybrid. During the testing we used a cotton mattress protector, cotton bedding and a lightweight down duvet. My husband and I sleep in breathable bamboo pajamas and keep our home at 68°F. Surprisingly, I felt the Glacier Apex Hybrid did a better job cooling than the much more premium Tempur-Pedic LuxeBreeze that I've slept on for the past two years. This is likely due to the hybrid build, since coils help move air through the bed (memory foam is notorious for trapping body heat). Score: 4.5 out of 5 Edge support is an important feature that helps you get in and out of bed, sit supported on the edge while getting dressed and have more sleeping surface so you can stretch out and sleep up to the edge of the mattress. It also helps prevent premature sagging around the perimeters of the bed. As a side sleeper, I never felt like I was going to roll off when curled up at the edge of the bed (a bonus for folks who bed-share like me). I generally found it easy to climb in and out of the bed even with its taller 14-inch height. I could also sit at the edge without slipping off, but there was a bit of sinkage while sitting that I attribute to the soft nature of the bed. To simulate a person sitting at the edge of the bed, I placed a 50-pound kettlebell along the perimeters of the mattress to get some hard data. It sank three inches, which isn't surprising given the cloud-like feel. For this reason, I docked a point from the score even though I didn't personally experience any major issues with edge control. Score: 4 out of 5 The Glacier Apex Hybrid has a high-end look and feel thanks to its quality materials. Though I've only tested the mattress for a few weeks, it looks and feels the same way it did when it arrived on our doorstep. There's no noticeable sagging, tears, odors or any indication that its durability won't hold up to regular use. I believe this mattress is well-made and will easily last 7-10 years, which is the average lifespan of a mattress, with proper care. The reinforced edge support will also help prevent premature sagging. Score: 4.5 out of 5 64 users gave the Glacier Apex Hybrid an average rating of 4.9 stars on the Glacier website at the time of writing. The mattress is only available direct from the brand, which is why we're featuring user reviews posted on the brand's website. Some users claim they've had the best sleep of their life on the Glacier Apex Hybrid, though they note it takes some time to get used to. Others say the mattress has good cooling capabilities and bounce. However, one user said the cooling didn't hold up overnight, which is consistent with the experience my husband and I had with fluctuating cooling. Many buyers praise the quality of the bed and the fast shipping. Others cite comfort and supportive cushioning, especially for side sleeping. Overall, a majority of users note improved sleep and a reduction in sore joints. If you're looking for a cooling mattress with high-end materials at an affordable price point, you'll definitely get your money's worth with the Glacier Apex Hybrid. Its cooling technology should keep most sleepers cool, and its reinforced edge support offers excellent stability for side sleepers or people with mobility issues. The soft nature of this bed further lends itself to side sleeping and keeping the shoulder area pain-free. Still, if you're on a mission to find a firm bed for stomach sleeping, you'll want to look elsewhere. While I didn't experience any hip or back pain sleeping on the Glacier Apex Hybrid, I question whether its softness will be firm enough to support stomach (or even heavier back sleepers) long-term. It also has noticeable motion transfer, which may be a deal breaker for sensitive sleepers, couples who bedshare or people who sleep with pets. However, it's hard to beat the lifetime warranty and 365-night sleep trial. Even if you're not 100% sold on the Glacier Apex Hybrid, you'll have a full year to ultimately decide if it's right for you. For a cooling mattress with three firmness levels to match your sleep style, consider the Saatva Classic, or try the Nectar Classic for great motion control that won't disrupt sleep. The WinkBed Original is a breathable hybrid mattress with a moisture-wicking eucalyptus-derived Tencel cover (a type of cooling fabric) and individually wrapped coils that circulate air through the bed. It comes in four firmness options that you can tailor to your sleep position, as well as a quilted Euro top that will give a similar cloud-like feel as the Glacier Apex Hybrid. Our WinkBed mattress review has all the details. This crowd-pleasing medium bed is for seriously hot sleepers. It features a cooling cover, phase change materials that help pull away body heat and three aluminum graphite bands built directly into the mattress. It also has zoned support with a firmer center-third of the bed to keep your spine in neutral alignment, regardless of your preferred primary sleep position. Find out more in our Casper Snow mattress review. As an even more budget-friendly alternative to the Glacier Apex Hybrid, Leesa Studio Chill will give you many of the same features at a lower price point, including a cooling cover, copper-infused foam and breathable springs. It also has a medium firmness suitable for most side, back and stomach sleepers alike, as well as a limited lifetime warranty.

Nectar Hybrid Mattress Review: Dense Support Meets Comfortable Cushion
Nectar is a popular online mattress and bedding brand that was among the early pioneers of the bed-in-a-box style. It's one of our best-loved at Forbes Vetted for a number of reasons, but most of all because it offers great values, including the Nectar Classic Hybrid Mattress. This model is the sturdier coil version of the flagship Nectar Classic; it has similar pressure-relieving features with better spinal support and temperature regulation. Along with a long-term tester, nine of our team members tested this hybrid to see how it performed for differing genders, preferred sleep postures, body types and pain points. In this Nectar Hybrid Mattress review, we detail how it scored in important categories like pressure relief, support, firmness, motion isolation and more. The Nectar Classic Hybrid Mattress has a balanced firmness profile, good motion isolation and ample ... More pressure relief. ILLUSTRATION: FORBES / PHOTO: RETAILER The Nectar Hybrid Classic Mattress is an optimal choice for those who enjoy a medium-firm memory foam feel with enhanced responsiveness and support. Below, we highlight the bed's strengths, the types of sleepers we think it's best for and its potential drawbacks. If you prefer a softer feel, you might want to also consider other models from Nectar, such as the Nectar Luxe Hybrid or Nectar Ultra . Forbes Vetted Forbes Vetted ratings are based on thorough evaluations by our editorial team to help you choose the best products with confidence. Type: Hybrid | Brand firmness rating: Medium-firm (6.5) | Trial period: 365 nights | Warranty: Lifetime Buy if: You're a back, stomach or combination sleeper You're a side sleeper over 150 pounds You co-sleep with a partner (good motion isolation and edge support) You live with back pain Skip if: Nectar recently revamped its entire lineup of mattresses, giving the Classic Hybrid a new look and feel that the majority of our testers liked. Mattress updates writer Alex Garrett says it feels similar to the new Nectar Memory Foam model in that 'it's firm yet cushioning with a touch of sinkage.' She adds, 'The only thing I notice that's separating them is the hybrid version is a little bouncier.' Another tester says, 'I fell in love with the feel of this mattress right off the bat. It might be because I'm biased toward hybrid mattresses , but this is better than the one I have at home.' With the current retail price around $800 for a queen size, our editors and testers agree it's a premium value. Although this model is the brand's entry-level hybrid mattress, don't expect minimal features. Here's a breakdown of the 12-inch Nectar Hybrid. Cover: It has a soft cover that's made from a blend of polyester and viscose, and it's woven with cooling polyethylene fibers to help draw body heat away.

Base layer: A 1-inch layer of dense foam acts as the foundation for the rest of the mattress' materials. A look at the five layers that make up the Nectar Classic Hybrid Mattress. Illustration: Forbes / Photo: Retailer Nectar rates the Classic Hybrid Mattress a 6.5 on the firmness scale, with 10 being the firmest and 1 being the softest. All of our testers agreed it falls in the medium-firm ballpark, with most rating it a 6.5 as well. (We found the last version of this mattress to be softer than advertised.) 'This mattress is a nice balance between firm, bouncy and contouring,' says one tester who weighs under 150 pounds. 'I like that the memory foam in the top helps to add some cushion. Plus, the springs help distribute weight more evenly and offer good support.' Another tester echoes this thought and says, 'This bed has a nice middle ground between cushiony and dense; it provides that contouring feel that I prefer with a medium-firm profile.' Although we typically advise side sleepers to choose a soft to medium mattress rather than a medium-firm one, our team rated the Nectar Classic Hybrid an 8 out of 10 for side sleeping because of its contouring and cushiony feel. However, this bed shines most for back and stomach sleepers, which we rated an 8.5 out of 10 for each position. Nectar Classic Hybrid Mattress Features Firmness and feel are factors mainly influenced by weight and preferred sleep posture, but other important features like pressure relief, temperature and motion transfer remain more constant. Here's what our testers thought after putting the Nectar Classic Hybrid through our mattress testing process . Pressure Relief Your mattress should properly cradle your joints and relieve pressure along your spine, otherwise it's not doing your body (and sleep) any good. Stomach and back sleepers typically require the least amount of pressure relief, while side sleepers benefit from more since their shoulder and hip bear greater weight. Our testers rated the Nectar Classic Hybrid an 8 out of 10 for pressure relief overall, crediting its medium-firm profile for providing both cushion and support. 'The mattress doesn't fully conform to my body, but it still is very comfortable. There is no pressure buildup in my neck, shoulders or hips while side sleeping,' says one tester. Our long-term tester who slept on it in her home for 3o nights agrees, and says, 'The mattress provides excellent pressure relief, particularly when I sleep on my side. It has enough give to allow my shoulders and hips to sink in comfortably.' Lightweight side sleepers, on the other hand, should consider a softer mattress that has more cushion and give. Cooling Memory foam mattresses are known to retain heat, but the Nectar Hybrid is designed to help combat this claim. Garrett says, 'The mattress cover is noticeably cooling,' while another tester adds, 'The cover feels cool to the touch and my body heat isn't badly trapped after lying in a single position for a while.' The coils inside the Nectar Hybrid let air flow through more efficiently, and its cover is woven with cooling fibers to help absorb excess body heat. The Nectar Classic Hybrid features cooling tech in the cover to help absorb body heat. BRIDGET CHAPMAN FOR FORBES However, our long-term tester says, 'While it wasn't enough to cause overheating during the night, if I happened to wake up for other reasons, I needed to change positions to alleviate the heat buildup underneath my body.' She adds that she'd recommend the Nectar Classic Hybrid for those who don't have major temperature regulation issues. If you sleep hot, you may want to consider a cooling mattress instead. Motion Transfer Even though its coils help make the Nectar Hybrid Mattress more responsive, it still offers good motion isolation that deadens movement from your co-sleeper (whether it's a human or your restless pet). Our testers rated this category an 8.5 out of 10 after performing a water glass test, which entails placing a glass on one side of the mattress and making movements around it to see how the water's impacted. 'The motion isolation is pretty impressive on this mattress,' says one tester. 'I went tossing and turning, but the water in the glass only moved about half an inch in the glass, and the actual glass itself did not budge.' Another agrees on its performance and says couples would give it high marks. Support Support is an important metric for anyone shopping for a mattress, but especially heavyweight individuals over 250 pounds and back and stomach sleepers. According to the brand, a queen-size Nectar Classic Hybrid can support up to 1,000 pounds of evenly distributed weight. One tester weighing between 150 and 250 pounds says, 'I feel like it provides a lot of support while still conforming to my body shape.' It also received high marks for stomach sleeping, which our testers rated an 8.5 out of 10. However, our long-term tester thinks heavyweight stomach sleepers should consider a different choice. 'It doesn't feel like it causes a big enough misalignment in my spine to create an issue, however, a heavier stomach sleeper might find it does.' We recommend stomach sleepers over 250 pounds check out our list of the best mattresses for heavy people instead. The Nectar Classic Hybrid can support up to 1,000 pounds. Jamie Ueda For Forbes Edge support, or perimeter strength, is also an important factor, especially for couples who have to share a full- or queen-size mattress or people who like to sleep or sit on the side of the bed. During testing, we found this bed's edge support stands out as one of its strongest features (9 out of 10), thanks to its reinforced coils. 'Its edge support is impressive; I really do not notice much of a difference between the edges and center in terms of support,' says a tester. Ease Of Movement Some memory foam mattresses provide pushback or resistance when you switch positions because your body has to warm up the material before it softens and gives. The Nectar Classic Hybrid Mattress is different in that it offers good ease of movement and takes the struggle out of changing sleep postures or getting in and out of bed. As a result, our testers rated its ease of movement an 8.5 out of 10. Nectar Classic Hybrid Mattress Pricing Nectar is owned and operated by parent company Resident Home, which also owns the comfortable and competitively priced DreamCloud mattresses. Nectar mattresses are known for their signature feel that is reminiscent of memory foam from popular competitors, but Nectar offers some of the best values and company policies in the industry. Shipping And Delivery Nectar offers free standard delivery where your mattress ships compressed in a box within three to five business days from when you order and then arrives two to five business days after that. You can upgrade to a white glove delivery service for an additional $199, which covers in-person delivery and setup of two items and old mattress removal if you choose. Trial Period And Returns Most standard mattress trials are 100 nights, but Nectar offers 365 nights. You can choose to return your mattress for a full refund within the trial window, but Nectar asks you to wait at least 30 days to initiate a return so your body settles to the profile and feel of your new bed. Warranty Nectar offers what it calls a Forever Warranty, which is essentially a limited lifetime guarantee. It states that if you experience specific defects in construction, materials or quality, the company will replace your mattress free of charge within the first ten years of ownership. After ten years, Nectar will fully repair your mattress, although shipping fees apply. To maintain coverage, it's important to follow the warranty guidelines carefully to avoid voiding the policy. Other Mattresses From Nectar Nectar currently offers four different mattress models that are all available in all-foam and hybrid constructions, including the Premier and Ultra below. In the next tier above the Nectar Classic Hybrid is the Nectar Premier Hybrid Mattress, which provides a slightly softer feel and a more advanced cooling cover. We think it's better for back and side sleepers who prefer something more cushioned than the dense, medium-firm Nectar Classic. The Nectar Ultra Memory Foam Mattress is one of the brand's most premium choices. It has a softer, marshmallowy feel and a tall 15-inch profile that makes for a luxe sleep experience. We think it's best for side sleepers or lightweight back sleepers because of its doughy profile. There aren't many mattresses that can suit back, stomach and side sleepers all at once, but the Nectar Classic Hybrid Mattress hits the mark. Unless you're a side sleeper under 150 pounds, you should enjoy its balanced feel and firmness, which testers say is both dense and cushioned. Couples should also enjoy its highlight features including edge support and motion isolation, meaning the perimeter is sturdy enough for those who share a smaller mattress and it deadens motion so you aren't disturbed by your partner's movements. However, strict side sleepers and others who prefer a softer mattress should consider something more pressure relieving for the hips and shoulders, like the Nectar Ultra, which also comes in a hybrid version.

She has tested over 200 different beds and is a tenured editor in the mattress space with a sleep science coach certification. How We Tested The Nectar Classic Hybrid Mattress We tested the Nectar Classic Hybrid Mattress in two ways: through group sessions and long-term individual use. So far this year, our team's tested over 90 mattresses in group settings, focusing on metrics that are essential for identifying the most accommodating and comfortable choice. During our group testing, eight individuals—all varying in size, sleep posture and more—tested the Nectar Classic Hybrid alongside dozens of other top-rated models. We also had a long-term tester sleep on the Nectar Classic Hybrid at home for a full month to understand how it performs in a regular, overnight setting. Our testers evaluated key features including firmness, feel, support, pressure relief, temperature, motion isolation and more. How Long Does A Nectar Hybrid Last? Nectar offers a limited lifetime warranty, meaning it will replace any hybrid mattress that has manufacturing defects within the first ten years of ownership free of charge. After ten years, it will completely repair and re-cover the mattress if it has a defined defect and charge a shipping fee. That said, a hybrid mattress should generally last around ten to 12 years with proper care, and no mattress should be used forever. Is A Nectar Hybrid Mattress Good For Back Pain? The Nectar Classic Hybrid Mattress has a medium-firm profile that balances support with pressure relief and a hybrid construction with steel coils, which are both features that doctors and experts recommend if you live with back pain. Is The Nectar Hybrid Mattress Good For Side Sleepers? The Nectar Classic Hybrid Mattress is good for most side sleepers over 150 pounds, but lightweight side sleepers should consider a softer mattress with more cushion and pressure relief.
